Igariwey of the PDP polled 29,567 votes against the 13,616 votes of Eni of the LP.

PDP also won in Ezza South/Ikwo, Ezza North/Ishielu and Ebonyi/Ohaukwu.

LP urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to cancel the National Assembly election, describing it as a robbery.

The Deputy Director, Media and Publicity of its Heritage Campaign Council, Chooks Oko, said: “While the people freely went to their polling booths to vote for candidates of their choice, they had their wishes subverted.

“Even when they succeeded in expressing their choice, their wishes were thrown overboard by the rewriting of the results, falsification of figures and brazen announcement of figures that could only have come from the imagination of the Returning officers, as in the case in Izzi, Abakaliki, Ebonyi and other local governments.

“Result sheets were hidden from polling Units. Corps members fraudulently led undiscerning voters. Key INEC responsibilities were given to siblings and cronies of candidates and members of a particular party in Ishielu, Afikpo North and Ikwo councils. Results were compiled outside the polling units and falsified to the chagrin of the voters.”
